A resounding yes:
Pre-election: On August 12, Theresa Tam announced Canada was in a 4th wave of the pandemic. Trudeau went ahead with the election call anyway.

For Justin's ego, it goes downhill from here:

Minister for Gender Equality Maryam Monsef yesterday attempted to explain remarks to “our brothers, the Taliban” in scripted comments at a press briefing. Monsef said the collegial greeting reflected her interpretation of Muslim culture: “There are a lot of Muslims who are aghast with the Minister’s remarks.”
The Liberal Party yesterday had no comment on one of its candidates who questioned the Prime Minister’s “lack of judgment” on ethics. Candidate Martin Francoeur is running in Trois-Riviรจre, Que., a riding the Liberals last won 37 years ago: “Therein lies the problem with Justin Trudeau.”

Trudeau: Stephen Harper dislikes Syrians pic.twitter.com/Huh4osN0sU
Yes, that was not what was asked, Justin.
A six year grudge against Stephen Harper is not going to answer that question.

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau was confronted by the father of a victim from the deadly Iran plane crash last year, who attended the campaign stop in Richmond Hill on Friday to remind Trudeau of another promise he had made following the crash and questioned him why Canada was not criminally prosecuting members of the Iranian regime. Trudeau in response promised anew he would do everything possible to get justice. Merzhad Zarei's 18-year-old son died when the Ukraine International Airlines flight was shot down minutes after takeoff.

Nearly half of Canadians, 44%, told Ipsos that Trudeau would say anything to get elected, that compares to 27% who said the same thing about O’Toole and 7% who said that of NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh.
Now Trudeau is trying to convince Canadians that only he can protect you and the rest of the country from an angry mob of unvaccinated hooligans. This after protestors forced the cancellation of a campaign even Friday night in Ontario.
“Do we fall into division and hatred and racism and violence? Or do we say no,” Trudeau said when asked about the protests he is facing.
Calling these choices the most important we are facing in this “pivotal” election, Trudeau made it sound like he was campaigning against the small band of anti-vaccination protesters who were shouting him down rather than his real opponents, O’Toole and Singh.
Vaccinations are what he returns to again and again, even when it’s not true. Throughout all of last week Trudeau faced hecklers and protestors across the country and even when they were calling him out on other issues, he responded on camera by telling people to go get their shots.
Again, Justin shows his true divisive nature.
The entire coronavirus fiasco is only one of the many reasons why people are livid with him. By framing this election (which he called) as one in which the electorate shows their confidence in his handling of the lockdowns and shortage of necessary medicine and equipment, he can carry on pretending that a handful of people he slandered as racist were being unreasonable.
Indeed, he tried rising above the fury of the crowds:
(Sidebar: something, one should know, he cannot do.)
Trudeau: “I’ve never seen this intensity of anger on the campaign trail, or in Canada. Not when I was a kid, even with my dad visiting out west, where we did see anger. Certainly not in my last 12 years as a politician.” Says everyone needs to reflect on this. #cdnpoli

He even feigned nobility. He didn't cancel planned events because he was afraid that he would be screamed at again and again. He simply wouldn't put his handful of volunteers in the no-danger they were in:
Dozens of protesters followed the Liberal campaign to the rally. They used expletives in chants, waved their middle fingers, and made references to the Nazis over megaphones as a line of police stood in front of them.
Speaking in neighbouring Brampton on Friday night, Trudeau said the campaign couldn’t guarantee the safety of the people in attendance, and would have put at risk volunteers and others.
“That was not something I was willing to do,” he said.
It was the third such incident Friday where Trudeau was confronted by angry demonstrators upset with his government’s push on vaccine passports and vaccine mandates for travellers.
He even doubled down on his own long behaviour of un-parliamentary words and actions and his complete ineptitude and weakness over the past six years:
Asked if he's played a role enflaming some of the rhetoric. @JustinTrudeau says it's really important for everyone to reflect on the role we've played. #cdnpoli #elxn44 pic.twitter.com/S0bVg6xBnE

(Sidebar: why does that sound familiar?)
Nope.
Justin is never to blame for anything that has gone on during his watch. The voting public might be but not him.
He bravely let everyone know that hiding from the electorate:
"No, I'm not going to back down on a message that Canadians know is the right path forward, and that's why Canadians need to choose to move Canada forward in this pivotal time," Trudeau said.
Justin is not alone in being devoid of any personal responsibility or self-reflection.
Consider the censorious Steven Guilbeault who wanted taunts against politicians banned and even tried passing laws to that effect:
The Conservatives started the day by questioning tax arrears that Liberal candidate Steven Guilbeault disclosed in a parliamentary ethics filing, which the heritage minister later explained to reporters travelling on the campaign stem from his separation and are being resolved.
Guilbeault, likewise, used a series of posts on Twitter to highlight just over a dozen Conservative candidates who deny climate change, calling leader Erin O'Toole's party a home of "dinosaurs."
... says Goebbels.
If anything, Justin has brought this sort of vitriol on himself and it must continue. If nothing else, it is an outlet for the indignation and humiliation of the electorate that has been a long time coming. The world must see that it took six years and a deflated economy to rouse some from their political slumber.
It is also necessary to remind Justin that absolutism is not tolerated.
Sociopaths do not reflect anything they've said or done and move only to serve their own interests.
That Justin will not bring himself for even a moment to wonder if maybe his policies (or lack thereof) are the reason for popular discontent then he certainly will not care what ruin he brings on others. It's never his fault and everyone is being mean to him.
That isn't merely childish; it's dangerous.
